"In Yalda's universe, light has no universal speed and its creation generates energy. On Yalda's world, plants make food by
emitting their own light into the dark night sky. As a child, Yalda witnesses one of a series of strange meteors, the Hurtlers,
that are entering the planetary system at an immense, unprecedented speed. It becomes apparent that her world is in imminent
danger--and the task of dealing with the Hurtlers will require knowledge and technology far beyond anything her civilization
has yet achieved! Only one solution seems tenable: if a spacecraft can be sent on a journey at sufficiently high speed, its
trip will last many generations for those on board, but it will return after just a few years have passed at home. The travelers
will have a chance to discover the science their planet urgently needs, and bring it back in time to avert disaster."--Dust

"In the near future, journalist Martin Seymour travels to Iran to cover the parliamentary elections. Most would-be opposition
candidates are disqualified and the election becomes the non-event the world expects. But shortly afterward a compromising
image of a government official captured on a mobile phone triggers a revolutionary movement that overthrows the old theocracy.
Nasim Golestani, a young Iranian scientist living in exile in the United States, is hoping to work on the Human Connectome
Project--which aims to construct a detailed map of the wiring of the human brain--but when government funding for the project
is canceled and a chance comes to return to her homeland, she chooses to head back to Iran. Fifteen years after the revolution,
Martin is living in Iran with his wife and young son, while Nasim is in charge of the virtual world known as Zendegi, used
by millions of people for entertainment and business. When Zendegi comes under threat from powerful competitors, Nasim draws
on her old skills, and data from the now-completed Human Connectome Project, to embark on a program to create more lifelike
virtual characters and five the company an unbeatable edge. As controversy grows over the nature and rights of these software
characters, tragedy strikes Martin's family. Martin turns to Nasim, seeking a solution that no one else can offer ... but
Zendegi is about to become a battlefield."--Dust cover flap

"The Amalgam spans the nearly entire galaxy, and is composed of innumerable beings from a wild variety of races, some human
or near it, some entirely other. The one place that they cannot go is the bulge, the bright, hot center of the galaxy. There
dwell the Aloof, who for millions of years have deflected any and all attempts to communicate with or visit them. So when
Rakesh is offered an opportunity to travel within their sphere, in search of a lost race, he cannot turn it down. Roi is a
member of that lost race, which is not only lost to the Amalgam, but lost to itself. In their world, there is but toil, and
history and science are luxuries that they can ill afford. When she meets Zak, the male who will become her teacher and mentor,
everything starts to change. Their strange world is under threat, and it will take an unprecedented flowering of science to
save it. Rakesh's journey will take him across millennia and light years. Roi's will take her across vistas of learning and
discovery just as vast"--Jacket

"The generation ship Peerless is in search of advanced technology capable of sparing their home planet from imminent destruction.
In theory, the ship is traveling fast enough that it can traverse the cosmos for generations, and still return home only a
few years after they departed. But a critical fuel shortage threatens to cut their urgent voyage short, even as a population
explosion stretches the ship's life-support capacity to its limits. When the astronomer Tamara discovers the Object, a meteor
whose trajectory will bring it within range of the Peerless, she sees a risky solution to the fuel crisis. Meanwhile, the
biologist Carlo searches for a better way to control fertility, despite the traditions and prejudices of their society. As
the scientists clash with the ship's leaders, they find themselves caught up in two equally dangerous revolutions: one in
the sexual roles of their species, the other in their very understanding of the nature of matter and energy"--Dust jacket

What happens when your digital self overpowers your physical self? A life in Permutation City is unlike any life to which
you're accustomed. You have Eternal Life, the power to live forever. Immortality is a real thing, just not the thing you'd
expect. Life is just electronic code. You have been digitized, scanned, and downloaded into a virtual reality program. A Copy
of a Copy. For Paul Durham, he keeps making Copies of himself, but the issue is that his Copies keep changing their minds
and shutting themselves down. You also have Maria Deluca, who is nothing but an Autoverse addict. She spends every waking
minute with the cellular automaton known as the Autoverse, a world that lives by the mathematical "laws of physics." Paul
makes Maria an offer to design and drop a seed into the Autoverse that will allow her to indulge in her obsession. There is,
however, one catch: you can no longer terminate, bail out, and remove yourself. You will never be your normal flesh-and-blood
life again. The question then becomes: Is this what she really wants? Is this what we really want? From the brilliant mind
of Greg Egan, Permutation City, first published in 1994, comes a world of wonder that makes you ask if you are you, or is
the Copy of you the real you?

"Seth is a surveyor, along with his friend Theo, a leech-like creature running through his skull who tells Seth what lies
to his left and right. Theo, in turn, relies on Seth for mobility, and for ordinary vision looking forwards and backwards.
Like everyone else in their world, they are symbionts, depending on each other to survive. In the universe containing Seth's
world, light cannot travel in all directions: there is a "dark cone" to the north and south. Seth can only face to the east
(or the west, if he tips his head backwards). If he starts to turn to the north or south, his body stretches out across the
landscape, and to rotate as far as north-north-east is every bit as impossible as accelerating to the speed of light. Every
living thing in Seth's world is in a state of perpetual migration as they follow the sun's shifting orbit and the narrow habitable
zone it creates. Cities are being constantly disassembled at one edge and rebuilt at the other, with surveyors mapping safe
routes ahead. But when Seth and Theo join an expedition to the edge of the habitable zone, they discover a terrifying threat:
a fissure in the surface of the world, so deep and wide that no one can perceive its limits. As the habitable zone continues
to move, the migration will soon be blocked by this unbridgeable void, and the expedition has only one option to save its
city from annihilation: descend into the unknown"--

Camille is desperate to escape her home on colonized asteroid Vesta, journeying through space in a small cocoon pod covertly
and precariously attached to a cargo ship. Anna is a newly appointed port director on asteroid Ceres, intrigued by the causes
that have led so-called riders like Camille to show up at her post in search of asylum. Conditions on Vesta are quickly deteriorating
- for one group of people in particular. The original founders agreed to split profits equally, but the Sivadier syndicate
contributed intellectual property rather than more valued tangible goods. Now the rest of the populace wants payback. As Camille
travels closer to Ceres, it seems ever more likely that Vesta will demand the other asteroid stop harboring its fugitives.
